OF the clothes slonld hang from tile
shoulder and not the waist or hips.
The spinal column, or backbone, is
composed of - bones. (vertabrte) these
bones are joined together by cartilege
which form II packing and enable us to
move back ward and forward and in
different directions. Within Il hollow
in the spinal column is lodged the spi-
nal cord, the most delicate of nerves.
The scapult, Or shoulder blade. and the
clayicle. OF collar bone, are bones of
the chest. The bones Of the upper
eXtrenities, OF the numerous the large
bone OF the arm, the radius and
ulnl, the small bones of the arm,
and the carpus, metacarpus and plla-
langes bones of the wrist and hand,
correspond in number and structure, to
the bones of the lower eXtremities, OF
the temur. thigh bone the tbula and
tibia, small bones of the leg, and the
tarsus, metatarsus and phalanges, bones
of the ankle and foot.
The muscles come next, forming the
walls of the house. They form COW
erhig for the bones and give Il round-
hess and shape to the body. They are
attached 10 The bones and move them
in different directions. There are two
kinds of muscles, voluntary or those
That act When we will. involuntary OF
those over which the will has no power.
The muscles TO be in II healthy condl.
tion must be exercised. Without ex-
ercise they will become soft and ilabby
and perhaps diseased. In turn, too
violent exercise, long continued and
without rest, is as dangerous us too lit
tie exercise; more think, because the
muscles i'll the latter case may he per-
mantly weakened, strained Or diseased.
Over all this is placed a covering,
the skin. This is composed Of. two
layers. false and true skin. The true
skin or cults, is placed below and con-
tains the.neryes and blood vessels. The
outer skin Or cuticle is merely IA covsrs'
ing having no nerves OF blood vessels.
The skin has three uses, protecting. ex-
haling and absorbing. The hair and
nails are nioditled Ioims Of The culicle.
The hair forms a protection to the
head. from heat and cold and shields
it from blows. rhe nails protect the
ends of the fingers and toes and add IL
finish to the hand. The skin is well
supplied with oil glands which keep it
soft and flexible, and with perspirato-
~ glands which help to throw oil the
waste matter of the system.
The organs of respiration and the
voice, are The lungs, larynx aud tracliea.
They are situated III the chest, fasLen-
I'd AZ the back 10 lie spinal column.
III health they are ii delicate pink. The
air Is purified i'll Tie lungs. The pure re-
,, tanned and the impure thrown oil.
The traciIea is IA tube leading from the
larynx to the lungs. The larynx IS IA
cartilagenous box ut the top Of the
| trLclit.., the air passes through this to
tic lungs. The vocal cords are placed
over the larynx and 10y the action of
the air, together with the Teeth, tongue,
lips anu palate, the suuuu ANA speech;
Is made.
Circulation of the blood through the
body coilies next. Tie blood, called
liquid flesh, carries material for repair
ing and building every organ III the
body. The heart is called Tie engine
OF life, Tor it propels The blood to all
parts VI Tho body. The heart Is a
muscular. pear shaped organ, placed in
The center of tlie chest, between the
lungs. The blood il made impure in
its tour of The body and when 1t comes
impure 10 the heart, the heart throws
it INTO "a VEN or artery which carries
it 10 The lungs where it Is purified and
then sent back again over the body.
The organs of circulation are, heart,
arteries, veins and capillaries. For the
health of tile heart and general system,
The air we brealli should pe perfectly

action Of the heart, and in time weak

Food is as necessary to life and
health as is pure air. Without food
we ecould not have strength or even
life. for food makes blood after it has
Undergone Il process Ot preparation,
The food is first nast!cated and acted
upon by the saliva in the mouth. IL is
then swallo" ed. IL passes down the
aesuphegus or tube leading to the
| stomach. After it reaches the stum-
tcil 1t is acted on by the gastric juice
in the Stomach and subjected to a
chhrling Or rotOry motion. this reduces

into the large Intestine where it re

tionai iuids until 1t is ready for clrcu-
